Made In America

As we are learning, there are millions of products produced overseas. From clothing to cars it seems that everything we buy is made in Asia. One of the worst offenders is the home décor industry. Everything is mass produced at the cheapest price possible and sold at big box stores across the country. Not only does this cost American jobs, but everyone’s house is starting to look like it was decorated by Wal-Mart.

Some people just talk a good game. Some people do something about it. When country artist Ricky Lee was putting together his latest CD, Ordinary Man, he knew it needed to reflect his pride in the U.S.A. and what better way to show that pride than to produce a 100% American made CD. The packaging, the disc itself and the dynamic modern country sound are purely American. Ricky took several years developing "Ordinary Man" to deliver an album that hits hard and leaves you wanting more. Songs like "Crazy Bout You" and "You Won't Be Lonely Long" pave the way for Ricky's place alongside today's country stars.

With Veterans Day coming up, we were thinking of purchasing a new American flag. I happened to be at a national chain store which will remain nameless and noticed they had some flags. I picked one up and it was clearly labeled "Made in China." I wish I could say I was surprised.

Toby Keith’s number 1 song “Made In America” was almost not made by Toby. Word is Toby almost passed on the single because he had already released numerous patriotic toned songs and he thought it might be to much of a good thing. It was song writer Bobby Pinson who pushed the idea of recording “Made In America” on Toby and thank goodness he was able to sway Toby into recording it. And the rest they say is history! Here’s a special note from Toby thanking fans for his latest number one hit

We had a chance to speak to the owner of the Made In America Store today. Mark Andol was on to tell us about the event he is hosting this Saturday at the store in Elma to honor the victims of the attacks on September 11, 2001.

I recently joined The NRA. I have been wanting to become a member for a long time and the only reason that I have waited so long is pure laziness. I am a gun owner and a supporter of the Second Amendment. The NRA has long been known as an all American organization that uses it's size and strength to protect our rights provided by the Constitution. I was shocked when my free hat arrived yesterday.

Last week Toby Keith pulled the upset over the King of Country music with his new song, "Made In America.". So he's back tonight to defend his title against Keith Urban and his new song, "Long Hot Summer

George Strait made it obvious why he's called the "King Of Country Music" last week with his convincing win over Brantley Gilbert. Tonight he's taking on Toby Keith with his new song, "Made In America." So here we go. Let's get it on!

Many just don't realize how much of what we buy everyday, is being imported from China. Mark Andol of the Made In America Store got tired of losing business to China and decided to do something about it.
